[Q] Advice on migrate from Desire to Desire S

Hi
I am migrating from a Desire to a Desire S and I'd like some advice.
Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way to transfer bookmarks from one Android phone to another? I'd rather not install an app if possible so I'm hoping that I can browse to a file storage area.
Also is there an easy way to transfer the list of remembered wifi spots between Android phones? I'm not expecting that the passwords would be transferred just the list.
Lastly, is there a way to transfer my Locale settings?
Thanks in advance
Update 24th April: I've transferred my bookmarks and backed up my sms (at least the ones I wanted to keep) - simple enough but notes, recognised wifi spots, etc are still "trapped" on my original Desire.
Also i'm not interested in rooting my phone - so please don't suggest anything that requires a rooted phone. Cheers

No advice is I guess sometimes the best advice one person can give to another being

Backup your settings with Google and import it on your desire s. You will see what u get back otherwise search in the data partition

what about Transfer data app?

Titanium backup can do the job?

Desire S haven't been rooted yet so it's not possible.

Thanks but I'm not sure what you mean by "back up your settings with Google..." I looked through my original Desire and despite that could not find the "backup" feature that is so frequently referenced.
If you can advise on how to access the data partition, I'd appreciate it.

Try my back up pro it works like a charm for me. Its available on the market you have to purchase it but its worth every penny as it will save contacts,pictures,calendars,apps etc.
Hope this helps.

Multiple Roms on HTC Sensation - Bootmanager

There is app released called "Bootmanager" - Not compatible with HTC Sensation yet, but when it is will allow you to install multiple roms and switch between them

All good an well but i don't see how this is supposed to be related to dev?
Should have been in Themes and Apps so reported.

If we all submit our sensations then they should make it a supported device - http://init2winitapps.com/submit_device.html

Oh well, for a newbie, those qustions were hard to answer about your phone if compatible . Can i just ask if HTC HD2 works with this app?
oops sorry wrong section,

I just submitted the request for the sensation and they sent me an email that said. "Hi

IMPORTANT:if your custom rom has su v.3,disable log files in settings ,otherwise you'll run into permission problems,su v.2+ fine.Do the same in any rom you might run off sd.
in "what device do you have" put pyramid
"what is your sdcard block" put mmcblk1p1
"what is you system's size in mb" put 787.4
"what is your data size in mb" 1126
"what is your cache's size in mb" 116.2
these are the same for Z710e as well as the 4g
make the boot manager phone backup,it's an update.zip which you can flash from recovery should things go horribly wrong,have a nandroid backup and a copy of your custom rom on your sdcard(just to be absolutely safe) and keep your battery topped up.

There is a BM forum now

This app works fine with sensation. Running three different roms. My suggestion is to install ROM's with EXT2 not EXT4. had problems with EXT4. Nice job!

I have some problem during edit boot.img..at least do..
Can you say what rom works from sd..??
Can you upload the version of BootManager do you use..??

Anyone using this now, think sensation is fully supported now.

I used it while Testing ICS so i could still use wifi calling on GB Rom(Low service at my home), But since its running of a SD Card even tho i got a Class10 always seemed to be laggy and slow. I have not ran it since the new firmware witch has greatly helped my SD card speeds so it may have gotten better. I own the app so i will test it out again and report back. PS i Do remember that when i did use it almost every day(GB 2.3.4) when i installed rom's not everything would install(SU, WIFI Calling, ect) A restore Backup always seemed to work better for me then a Fresh install from a .zip. But i will test again and report back.

This thing works. But plenty of things that could be fixed (and better instructions).
It's my first paid app and I think it's pretty good (when it works...). Have to find which roms work. I think right now, only nandroid backups work.

It worked fine for me with every GB rom I used. I even tried all (first generation) ICS roms. It's been time that I had 3-4 roms installed to choose. No problems.
I think I cannot use ICS as system rom yet. Did they fix it?

I've never seen a more out of place post...

Hello everyone, I tried to use the boot manager, but every rom install in the slot does not start, and I am going bootloop the phone, each time forcing me to install the "update.zip" backup to turn on the phone with the rom of nand. I tried following the guide from their website but nothing, what should I do to make this program?

[Q] totaly noob in android

this is my first android phone, but before i had a windows mobile phone for years. I did a rom switch on that phone. But now i want to remove some stock app on the sensation (like facebook, twitter and other stupid stuf) with stock rom, I still didnt do anything with it.
Can anyone help me please, sorry for the hussle
thanks in advance

This thread should help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445169

First of all you need to root your phone even If you don't want to flash any custom rom. The reason is you want to remove some of the system applications. After rooting you can use titanium backup to remove these app. But make sure you have nandroid backup if anything goes wrong.

Good evening, good news i succesfully made my phone s-off and rooted it. (2hours) Now i got a question: i try to remove twitter and facebook. The application installer removed it from the phone because i saw the data going down, but i still have the icons in my programlist. Is there any way to remove them, without booting a hole new rom. As you can read im still a newbee here.
Btw titanium backup says im succesfully rooted. Yay, Hope someone knows a answer.
And Xda Congrats with the 50.000 achievement
Boys keep up the good work !

Congrats and welcome to XDA. I would never go back to anything other than an Android OS. It is so much more customizable than anything else out there. I would say read through the forums and see what you can do and what you can tweak. Also, if you get bored you can try flashing different ROMS and see what you like best.

I was already member of xda years before in the time of qtek 2020i. (guus they called it then xda or mda. But unfortunally i lost my account from then, so had to make a new one. Otherwise i was not a newbee . For now i still like the stock ROM of htc. (stable and all functions work. Unlike the bèta verions of ics)

[Q} ClockWorkMod memory

In my sd card i have this folder called clockworkmod that hold 3.30GB & im very limited in space. Do i even need that folder there? My HTC Inspire 4G is All ready rooted & the hole 10 yards?

Well, thats the folder used by rom manager and 4ext to restore your backups and such. Explore the folder with es file explorer or any other you prefer, see whats inside and get rid of what you dont want. You can also backup the contents to your pc and get rid of what you don't need on your sd card.

Thanks :good: Do you know any good 4.0 sense ROMs For HTC DesireHD ? The onei have currently Has Too Many Bugs :crying:

Desire hd? What the heck are you doing over this side?
Na, it's been a while since I flash any of those. There are a few good ones. Non sense roms have come a long way and are at a good stage right now as are the sense ones. Flash a few, install just a few basic apps, check them out and keep the one you like.

We dont have any good sense4.0 ROMs without the source code. So might have to wait until then.

Anything now?
